"He seems like a really laid back, relaxed little babe," the baby’s mom, Melissa Hennessey said. "We’re excited to have a little sleepy snuggler to bring home to our family. I think we’re all looking forward to moving into the new year with a sense of peace and calm, and so far little John has certainly exhibited that calming presence for us!"
The baby’s name is John Robert Hennessey. He weighed 6 pounds, 11 ounces.
North Memorial Health Hospital also welcomed its first baby of 2021.
